I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) Too much on the amateur film making period of the current crop of film makers and although Willis O'Brien was mentioned I don't believe his ground breaking exploits eg. in "King Kong" (1933) received any attention - after all he influenced Harryhausen ~Tubbs
